ENTRY TYPE --------------------------- c
PROMPT TEXT:

You can accept the current price shown by pressing Enter, or you can hit clear or delete to remove or change the stored price and enter
a new price. This new price will be stored in your data file and can update your database when you upload the TriCoder data file.
You can then display additional data from the table to change by continuing in the next statement:
< PROGRAM # 1 PROMPT 02 >

PROMPT TEXT:

DATA ID --------------------------- L14
This will place the following on screen:
ENTER NEW QUANTITY:

This is just one example of how to use Copy Table Data to Prompt to modify data in a stored Table, you can also use it to modify
things like locations, conditions, asset value, items to be returned etc…
Prompt Text
The next field in the TriCoder programming is the PROMPT text. This prompt is asking you to enter the text you want displayed to
the user. If you have chosen D (Data) for the STATEMENT ENTRY TYPE, typical PROMPT text might be something like "ENTER
DATA" or "SCAN BARCODE". A "Q" (Question) statement might display text such as "DAMAGED GOODS?"
In our example above, we would then type the text we want to use for our user prompt for statement #01. To move to this field you
can use the down arrow or the ENTER key. The cursor will appear in
color as you move through the fields.
PROMPT TEXT:
ENTER ITEM NO. _
To enter different text for this field you key it in directly from the TriCoder keypad. The new prompt text will appear wherever the
cursor is. If you would like to clear the existing prompt text, and enter new text, you can hit the clear
key or press the delete
key several times.
The PROMPT Text statement has other uses besides just displaying an operator prompt. By using an @ as the first character in the
statement text, you can display the last data entered for this prompt as the default data. To accept this displayed data as the data you
want to enter for the prompt, press the ENTER key. For example, if the PROMPT text is "ENTER ITEM NO.", and the data entered
